OC in place serving/selling alcohol, permission needed

Im thinking of organizing an 'OC Dinnner' at MY favorite rib joint in the Madison area...Since OC is ALLOWED if permission is granted, can that permission be granted in a 'blanket' way or does each individual need a 'signed note' from the proper person at that establishment?

As usual amateurs get it wrong. The permission is for a "specific event" and "of limited duration" and by the particular "owner or manager who is issued" the license.

(g) The possession or use of a handgun on the premises if authorized for a specific event of limited duration by the owner or manager of the premises who is issued the Class “B” or “Class B” license or permit under ch. 125 for the premises.

Madison, guns and ribs... just think of the totality of the situation.

As long as I'm not ending up with guns in my ribs.
Either way, that could be messy.

As for the original question, when we did the BBC lunch at Thunder Bay Grill we didn't have a sign-in sheet. IIRC, Nik got blanket permission from the manager for all of us to attend. PM him to see how he did it.

Well don't unholster while your ribs are in front of you, therefore eliminating the possibility of mixing sidearm and ribs. Then there is the possibility of a gun in your ribs from an over aggressive person dressed in black and wearing a shiny metal ID tag while making illegal demands. All this while he is considering the totality of the circumstances that can't be defined or articulated. That situation is well...impossible to avoid the possibility.

My concern is bbq sauce. IF id have to draw my weapon, its going to get messy!

I understand. Good ribs require a bath afterwards (and this from someone who almost never eats pork).

What would be even worse is having the BBQ-encrusted pistol confiscated by the men in black (who are considering the totality of the circumstances of you defending yourself), and it sitting in evidence that way for who knows how long. Glocks can take a lot of abuse, that's one reason they're a popular service weapon, but an extended period of BBQ immersion might take its toll.
